Do you have any control panel like cPanel?

no, i am logging in via phpmyadmin
on the wordpress instructions it says to create a database
which i cant, as i only have 1 database, and its called db56280
so i presume i can just instlall wordpress into it?
also on the myphpadmin instructions from wordpress it says to
"Click the Home icon in the upper left to return to the main page, then click Privileges. If a user relating to WordPress does not already exist in the list of users, create one: 1. Click Add a new User.
2. Chose a username for WordPress ('wordpress' is good) and enter it in the User name field. (Be sure Use text field: is selected from the dropdown.)
3. Choose a difficult-to-guess password (ideally containing a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols), and enter it in the Password field. (Be sure Use text field: is selected from the dropdown.) Re-enter the password in the Re-type field.
4. Write down the username and password you chose.
5. Leave all options under Global privileges at their defaults.
6. Click Go.
"

That means you are accessing your database using mysql56280 user and probably this is your control panel username as well. Try mysql56280 database user and your control panel password to install WordPRess.

Hi, I'm struggling with a similar (the same?) problem with easily linux advanced hosting package and wondering if the solution above worked?
I have tried the coding suggested in the wpconfig file but when I try to access the wpinstall file on my browser I get an 'internal server error' message.
Thanks in advance for any help. all best from greg
